13
First time using your breast pump
Carefully read this instruction manual before using your Crane Double Electric
Breast Pump. Failure to follow these instructions and safety guidelines can lead
to harm or injury from the device and may also damage the pump and kit.
• Wash your hands with soap and warm water.
• Disassemble all parts that come into contact with the breast/breast milk:
Breast shield body, silicone cushions & diaphragms & bottles & bottle parts
NOTE: silicone cushion comes assembled onto the breast shield.
• Sterilize these parts using by boiling for 3-5 minutes or with another
sterilization technique. See ‘STERILZING YOUR PUMP PARTS’ for more
information.
• Leave to dry or dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
STERILIZING YOUR PUMP PARTS
BEFORE FIRST USE AND ONCE DAILY
1. Place disassembled breast shield, silicone cushions, diaphragm,
bottle and bottle parts that are safe to boil into a pot and cover
with water. DO NOT BOIL TUBES AND CONNECTORS.
2. Put the pot over the heat and bring to a boil.
3. Boil for 3-5 minutes.
4. Allow water to cool and gently remove items with clean tongs
5. Do not boil tubes or connectors
6. Allow to air-dry thoroughly. Place sanitized pump parts and
bottle brush on a clean, unused dish towel or paper towel in an
area protected from dirt and dust. Do not use a dish towel to
rub or pat items dry because doing so may transfer germs to the
items.
7. Store dry parts in a cool, clean place when not in use. DO NOT
store wet or damp parts.
Before Each Use
Wash your hands well with soap and water and dry thoroughly before touching
any part of your pump.
• Make sure that all parts are totally dry prior to use. Wet or damp parts will
cause poor suction.
• Once all parts are totally dry, re-assemble the milk collection kit.
14
• Make sure that you check for wear and tear on tubes, plastic and silicone parts.
• Replace worn out or damaged parts immediately as this will affect suction.
CLEANING THE TUBES
The Crane Double Electric Breast Pump is a closed system, therefore cleaning the
tubes is not necessary. If you see moisture in the tubes after pumping, remove
the tubes from the breast shields. Turn the unit on for a few minutes until the
moisture is gone.
TUBE CARE for Moisture in the tubes
If you see still moisture in the tubing:
Wash tubing in warm, soapy water.
Rinse with clean water
Shake out water droplets and hang to dry.
After each pumping session
• Rinse each part that has come into contact with the breast and/or breast milk
immediately after pumping. Parts that come into contact with the breast and
breast milk are; bottles, breast shield body, silicone 3D Cushions, diaphragm. This
avoids buildup of milk residue in the collection kit bottles/parts and growth of
any bacteria.
• Wash all parts above in warm soapy water using any fragrance-free mild liquid
dishwashing detergent. This degreases the parts of the milk collection kit. Grease
residue affects suction and passage of milk into the collection bottles.
• Use a separate cleaning sponge and bottle brush with a smaller brush to reach
the tiny nooks of the collection kit parts.
• Rinse each piece thoroughly with warm water for 10 to 15 seconds.
• You may sanitize the parts through a sterilization method after each use.
• Parts may become damaged or deform if exposed to high temperatures for any
more than 5 minutes.
• Make sure that you check on wear and tear on tubes and plastic or silicone
parts.
• Replace worn out or damaged parts immediately as this will affect suction.
Allow to air-dry thoroughly. Place sanitized pump parts and bottle brush on a
clean, unused dish towel or paper towel in an area protected from dirt and dust.
Do not use a dish towel to rub or pat items dry because doing so may transfer
germs to the items.
• Make sure that all parts are totally dry prior to use. Wet or damp parts will
cause poor suction. Once all parts are totally dry, re-assemble the milk collection
kit.
15
You will need to re-assemble your milk collection kit after each cleaning. Before
assembling, the parts which directly come in to contact with breast milk must be
cleaned and sterilized before each use. These parts include; the milk bottle,
Silicone 3D Cushions, breast shield body, diaphragm and bottle lid.

Preparing to pump
So, your pump is clean, sterilized, assembled and you’ve familiarized yourself
with the controls. Now it’s time to start pumping.
Be prepared - Make sure you have everything you need for the 30 minutes or so.
Have a glass of water and a snack in arms reach a cloth for any spills. Do you
have your phone charged, or something else to read, watch or listen to.
You can do this! Take a breath and relax. Whether this is your first time using
your pump or you’ve done it many times…just take a moment to relax, think
about your baby and know you’ve got this.
See & hear your baby - Many moms find that pumping is more successful if they
have the right sensory cues. Watching a video or seeing a picture of your baby
may be enough to help your milk let down. Listening to a recording of your baby
or having an item of clothing that has their smell may also help to get your milk
flowing.
The power of routine - Your body will also respond to the familiarities of how
and where you pump, so expressing at the same times of day helps your body
know what is expected.
Get comfortable Pumping where you normally feed your baby can be a good
cue for your body. Try to choose a chair or position that takes care of your neck
and back. Supporting your breast with a cushion may help too, particularly if you
are expressing from both breasts at once and need a hand free.
Using Your Crane Pump
Remove the dust cover Always remove the dust cover before you start to
pump.
Position the breast shield - Massage around your breast, then position your
nipple in the center of the silicone 3D cushion.
17
Pumping Mode - Switch on your pump, starting with the stimulation mode icon
to
encourage letdown. Once your milk begins to flow (usually after a couple of
minutes), switch to an expression mode icon
Finding the right settings for you:
• When using your pump for the first few times, experiment with the different
expression setting (-/+) to find the one that works well for you.
• If your milk flow begins to drop, you may find it helpful to gently massaging
your breast.
• Adjust the suction level gradually to one that is effective but still comfortable.
Don’t choose a level that’s too high and uncomfortable.
• You may find it helpful to switch between the Expression icon and stimulation
icon Phases while you are pumping.
How long to pump - Use your pump to express your milk until the breast is
empty, which is usually between 15-30 minutes.
Finishing your pumping session - When you are ready to stop expressing,
switch your Crane pump off. Ensure the pump motor is OFF before removing
the milk collection kit from your breasts.
Time to clean - Please see the instructions for rinsing and washing or sterilizing
your pump parts that have come in contact with your breast or breast milk.
Wipe your pump unit.
Double Pumping
As you learn to use your Crane Pump, you may find it easier to pump one side at
a time to begin with. Once you are confident with positioning the breast shield
and have an understanding of the controls, you can be more confident using
both sides at once. Pumping both sides at once can help increase your milk
supply as well as reduce the time needed to pump.
A cushion under one breast can help you still have one hand free to have a drink
or hold something to read. Hands free expressing bras can free up your hands if
you want to move about while you are pumping from both breasts.
18
Milk Storage
Storing & Using Breast Milk
Please check the latest advice on storing and using thawed breast milk with your
physician or lactation consultant.
Always keep your stored breast milk in a sterilized bottle or sterile milk storage
bag, adding the date if you are planning to freeze it. Breast milk can be kept at
room temperature for 4 hours.
You can store your breast milk in the fridge for up to 48 hours at 2-4 degrees C.
Choose the coldest part of the fridge, such as above the vegetable drawer, not in
the door. Your breast milk can be stored for up to 3-6 months in a freezer. Fill
your storage bag or bottle no more than ¾ full, as the frozen milk will expand.
Allow your frozen breast milk to defrost itself in the fridge. When it is thawed,
use it straight away.
Your baby might like warm milk. Stand the bottle in a container of hot water and
let it heat to body temperature before feeding. Microwaving bottles is not
recommended because the uneven heating can burn your baby’s mouth, and the
heat can damage the food value and health protecting qualities of breast milk.
Once warmed, and before feeding, always swirl the container of the milk to mix
well and test the temperature by shaking a few drops of milk on the inside of
your wrist. The milk should feel just warm on your skin.

Troubleshooting
Weak Suction or No Suction
All the instructions below must be followed. Failure to follow any of these
instructions will lead to weak suction or no suction vacuum at all.
• All parts must be totally dry and not damp.
• Frequent use or improper sterilization method can cause aging on Silicone 3D
Cushions. If the Silicone 3D Cushions have aged and are worn out, replace
immediately.
• Make sure that the Silicone 3D Cushions on each collection kit fit tightly onto
the breast shield body. The Silicone 3D Cushions have edges that should fit
perfectly across the cushion edges.
• If the Silicone 3D Cushions are not snugly attached this will result in poor
suction.
• Make sure that the silicone diaphragm is properly attached to the breast shield
body.
• Check that all connections are tight so as not to cause any air to leak. Check
that tubing is not wet, damp, bent or twisted.
• Tubing must be straightened and uncoiled to ensure proper air flow.
• If you notice any milk residue, clean the tubing and air dry. (Follow proper
cleaning the tubes instructions described in this manual)
• If you notice any water condensation or milk inside the tubing, clean and air
dry.
• Tubing must always be dry and checked prior to each use. Wet or damp tubing
will cause poor suction.
• Worn out tubing with holes will cause a reduction in suction. Replace
immediately when worn out.
• Check to make sure that the breast shield is well secured and tightly fastened
to the tubing connector.
• Check that tubing connector ends are tight and well connected to the tubing,
the breast motor unit and the breast shield.
